Chapter 6
   (A Denial)
Yes, he's kissing her as if his life depends on it. He even had the guts to wrap his hand around her waist and her neck.
"Sir"Piper uttered, but Collins took it as his own advantage and kissed her deeply. Piper didn't know when she gave in and kissed him back.
  Those memories kept flushing into his head, he didn't know how they ended up on his table. Those memories kept flooding in, he made chances to move his hand on her breasts which he succeeded. 
"The touch is the same thing,"Collins thought.
"I miss you, I really missed you Aurora"He murmured between the kiss, which amazed Piper the most. 
"How can he say he missed me, not as if he knows me"Piper thought, 
"Could it be that he knows me, but isn't ready to say the truth, why is he keeping it"Piper thought, still having her eyes closed. 
   Seconds later, Piper disengaged from the kiss and glared at him.
"What's that for?"She yelled at him.
"Am sorry Aurora"He apologized.
"Aur...ora"Piper stuttered looking at him again.
"I didn't mean what I did earlier"He apologized again.
"Really, you even called my second name. Not even my mom calls me that, but I think someone has called me with that name,"Piper thought, walking to take a view of the cities from his window.
 Collins pulled her back to himself.
"Piper,, do,, you,, still,, remember,me"He stuttered, hoping to get a positive response from her.
Piper chuckled at his words,
"I don't think I know you, and am not sure we have met before."She replied and paused.
"Why did you do it?"Piper asked.
"Do what?"Collins asked.
"Pervert" she cursed and glare at him, 
"What did you think you did?That's disgusting, okay!'' You can't just kiss any random people you see, okay!"Piper uttered, picking up her bag.
"Are you still going to deny me Aurora?"Collins uttered, still having his back on her.
"I did not know you, okay!"Piper screamed, holding her head.
"Did you really forget me that easily?"Collins uttered with a broken voice.
  Piper turned around with a blurry vision. She managed to walk to his side.
"Did you know me ?"Piper asked, staring at him.
"Did you forget me already? "He asked, not able to hide his tears as he let them down freely.
Piper couldn't hide her anger, she really felt like slapping him hard on the face but calmed herself down.
"I got the job right"She asked, Ignoring his boring question, actually it was a boring question to her.
"Yes, you got the job, but you haven't answered my question,"He asked.
 She ignored him again, which is one of the things Collins doesn't like, but he felt somehow, his lungs suddenly went limp. 
"Am so sorry, but can I start working tomorrow sir?"Piper asked. All Collins could do is nod his head to her request. Piper gave him a thumbs up and wink at him before she walked out of his office.
"Is she the one, or this Piper of a girl is just a different person?"Collins thought.
"The only way to get to know who she is the tattoo she drew on her chest,"Collins thought.
*A knock could be heard from the door*
"Come in,"he uttered softly.
   Owen popped in his head only, he exhaled and inhaled softly before coming inside his office.
"Good Morning sir"Owen greeted.
"Morning,"He replied. 
"What!!"Owen exclaimed with his eyes widened a bit.
"Any problem?"Collins asked, staring at him.
"Nothing sir,"Owen answered with his head bowed.
"Did he just reply to my greetings?"Owen thought, putting his hand behind his back.
"Owen"he called.
"Am right here sir"Owen answered.
"I want you to interview the rest, I have got an accountant and a marketer. So you should do the rest and make sure they are the best, okay!"He instructed.
"Okay sir" Owen bowed his head again.
"I want to take a day off, make sure you coordinate everything accurately"Collins uttered, picking up his suit jacket.
"Should I send today's activities at your place or your penthouse?"Owen asked.
"None of them, I may resume work tomorrow and I may not"Collins uttered and paused.
"I slept at the office yesterday.. I just have to have a proper sleep,"Collins uttered.
"Okay, I will pick the best among them, but I will tell them to come back next Monday for the real interview,"Owen said.
"Okay"Collins replied and smiled.
"Did he just smile at my words?"Owen thought. 
"I will leave now, go and start the process"Collins uttered, walking out of his office.
"He replied to my greetings, he smiled at words, unbelievable"Owen exclaimed, dancing crazily in the office.

Collins sat in his car quietly, he unlocked his phone, he breathed out before dialing the number he wanted to dial. 
📞 Hello sir"The cold voice was deep enough to be heard if someone was sitting next to Collins, unfortunately, there's no one around him.
📞 Hello, Khalid"Collins called gently.
📞 Good Morning sir"He greeted.
📞I have a work for you Khalid"Collins said.
📞At your service sir"He responded.
📞I sent you a picture and some business details about the person on Whatsapp, I want you to do some research on the person. I just want information about the person,"Collins explained.

📞 Okay sir"He said.
📞 Okay"Collins replied and end the call.
"I will find out who you are Piper,"Collins uttered, igniting the car and zoomed off.

"OMG, he kissed you,"Riley exclaimed, not believing her ears.
"Yes Riley, he kept saying I don't remember him. Not as if I knew him somewhere"Piper uttered, adjusting her hair.
"This is strange,"Riley murmured quietly.
"Really, strange. If I know someone like him, I will approach him myself for help but I don't know him"Piper uttered with frustration written on her face.
"Could it be that you are someone close to him?"Riley asked again.
"How will I be close to some I don't know?"Piper muttered.
"Then why is he acting strange, everybody knows Collins Walter is cold-hearted in everything"Riley uttered.
"That's what I was thinking also"Piper uttered lost in thought.
   The two got engrossed with their discussion, within those seconds, a squeaking tire of a vehicle ran over Riley.
"Riley!!!!"Piper screamed, covering her ears.
